but il tho pruclico oi. many plants, owing lo lhc rxpcnw of Lrosding lho cinder in this way. and lhc discomfort and danger to the \rorknnin from tho cinder "which is Still hot, lo curry it {0 u dump Where it is allowed to :icinnnnlutc and the scrap is not recovcrci'l. By my iuclhod, l mu ahlo to readily handlo and dispose o'l' tho slug and cinder and lo rucorcr any ucrnp which may be tlierein in a cheap, incxponsivc :uul oliicieni manner.

In acorn-dance with my invention, the unbroken or partially brokcn slug or cinder is placud on u flexible inctullic not and is crushed or broken thorcon in any suitable; manner 21s by the UM, of an ordinary skull cracker. The net is then gathered up around the crushed slag and rings at its oornor portions are engaged with the chain hooks of atraveling crane. The net with itsuontent-s is than curried by the crane to am .desired plac of deposit, or to any suit obi conveyance, and the contents dumped by disengaging one or more of the corner rings- In the drawings, the numeral 2 designates tho ilcxihlo inclullic ucl, which is preferably rmnposod of u plurnlily of meshed or inter \rorcn chains. connoclcd to oulor or bound inn rlniins 2%.
